High King Sermont

One of the two High Kings chosen by King Cassia to take over the Cassian Empire after his death. High King Sermont was given all of Cassian Brav to rule over in the name of the Cassian Empire in 33 AC, a year after King Cassia's passing.

High King Sermont was an elf born in Alvern in the year 889 AD. He would become a respected general of King Cassia's army which would be most widely known for eradicating the dragons on The Mainland. When King Cassia was growing old he had determined that he would leave ruling in his place, two elves born in his home country of Alvern. While this decision was disliked by many of his followers because they believed that King Cassia should have left his human son to rule, it was respected nonetheless. King Cassia stated that his reasoning behind the decision was that he had elvish allies that understood and practiced his principles that could live to enforce them for hundreds of years to come rather than a series of heirs who might push their own agendas through different generations.

In 45 AC, the High King's Keep was constructed as a gift from High King Clarion to High King Sermont and it would become his ruling home for the rest of his life. High King Sermont would have no heirs namely due to the public disapproval of his decision to marry a human so late in his life, and this would result in the Cassian Empire having no second High King to rule Cassian Brav after Sermont's passing.

On October 8, 526 AC, High King Sermont's royal bard would infamously murder several people within the High King's Keep before assassinating Sermont himself. This would be one of many stories told about the Mad Bard, and is unanimously agreed upon by historians as the most credible. High King Sermont's death led to the founding of the Brava Kingdom, which would represent the disestablishment of the Cassian Empire.
